Bridge Arms and Humo among restaurants to lose stars in 2026 Michelin Guide

The Bridge Arms in Kent and Humo in London are two restaurants to lose their stars in the Michelin Guide Great Britain & Ireland 2026.

The Bridge Arms first opened in the village of Bridge in 2021 and won a Michelin star 10 months later. Last summer, the owners announced they were closing the pub and handing it over to a new team, which reopened the gastropub a short while later with a more casual menu.

Meanwhile, the Creative Restaurant Group’s Humo in London’s Mayfair first opened in 2023 under executive chef Miller Prada, who left the restaurant last January.

A total of 10 restaurants lost their stars in this year’s guide.

Eight of these 10 lost their stars having closed their doors in the past year.

No three-star restaurants lost stars at this year’s awards, but two-starred La Dame de Pic, Claude Bosi at Bibendum and Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons in Oxfordshire were deleted from the guide following their closures.

Two-star Claude Bosi at Bibendum announced its shock closure last summer after struggling to reach a resolution with his landlords.

Meanwhile, La Dame de Pic restaurant at Four Seasons Hotel London at Tower Bridge closed last February 2025 after eight years of trading, while Le Manoir closed its doors in January for an 18-month period of extensive redevelopment.

Restaurants with one stars that have closed include Crocadon in St Mellion, Five Fields in London, Dosa by Akira Back in London and Hjem in Hexam.

Pascal Aussignac’s Club Gascon in the City of London also lost its star ahead of its closure next month after 30 years of trading.

Meanwhile, Tillingham in Peasmarsh appears to have lost its green star.
